The value of these figures is enhanced
by the following written statement Of
the Mayor: "Under the former ordi-
nance efforts were made by ealoonists
and their patrons to conceal or shield
the drunkards from the officers. Now
the anti-ordinance people hasten to
make public the fact that prohibition
does not prohibit and instance every
case Of drunkenness within their know1.
edge to support their claim. Cases are
promptly brought to light and reported,
and almost all Of them in such q way as
to secure their prosecution"
Our friends Of the Gazette, perhaps in.
advertently, testify to another advantage
of the ordinance, viz: the decrease Of
disorderly conduct. "Fewer arrests
were made for drunkenness from the
fact that this was considered q prohibi-
ten town and the Smsrt Alecks who
used to drink few glasses of beer and
imagine themselves regular Shagnasty
Jims, etc., would get out upon the
streets and yell and get run in by the po-
lice concluded this wouldn't do and now
keep still" The ordinance is then to be
thanked for better order on the streets.
The logic il clear. Ifthus inadeQuately
enforced, under circumstances the most
unfavorable that could be imagined, the
ordinance has accomplished good, how
much more good it will certainly accom-.
plish when the conditions are improved
and the ordinance enforced.
It in in the power of the people OF
Hillsboro to improve some of these con.
ditions and the Legislature will probably
do the rest. I don't belong to the "can't''
school, either in philosophy, politics or
religion. Let eve can /" be the rally.

Without any unkindly spirit Of con.
demnation, of either the officers or the
public, 1t is self-evident that these con-
ditions have not been met.
At this juncture comes the decision Of
the Circuit Court, the practical effect OF
which is at least "etay in procedure"
until decision of the case on appeal
can be obtained from the Supreme
Court or an amendment from the Legis-
latnre covering the palpable defect.
Now under these unfavorable condi.
tions after the shoft period of six
months there are some who propose
repeal.
It Is an approved maxim that the best
method to show the injustice or worth
lessness Of any law is to enforce it.
Should the ordinance be repealed under
the present circumstances the sentiment
will remain in the popular mind, ut
might have been the means of our re-

CHICAGO, ILL, February 4-LRst
night the Are department was called
to extinguish blaze in the dissecting
room Of the Chicsgo Homo opathiC
College, at the corner OF Wood and
York streets. The room is in the
southeast corner OF an upper floor, and
ladders were necessarily used in
reaching the flames. AS the foremost
fireman stepped into the room, he saw
what appeared to be man overcome
by the smoke lying on table. Call
ing his companions, the fireman
seized the body and had succeeded In
Juggling 1t from the room before he
discovered that, instead OF a suffo.
Gated man, he was carrying a partially
dissecttd cadaver. An investigation
showed that there were thirteen other
bodies In the room. On the fourth
floor Of the building were number
OF patients who, up 10 the arrival of
the city force, had known nothing OF
the fire. On heariug the noise OF the
engines they became greatly excited,
and couId be quoted only after the de-
paitment had gone. One old lady in
particular becsms completely fren zied,
and force was necessary TO prevent
her from leapiDg from a window. The
physicians In charge fear tina, the ex.
citement will have permanent effect
upon the patients, some of whom
were in u most critical condition.

HRS. NNAFRlNCES PROUT
THE DIVORCED WIFE OF ALONZO
W. BARBER,
Who Left Her Home and Was Not
Heard From for Twenty
Years.

RUTLAND, W., February 4.-The
news has reen received at Castleton
OF the death, in Jersey City, OF Mrs.
Anna Frances Prout, q divorced wife
OF AlonSo w. Barker, of that town, by
which q Missouri man comes into
possession OF fortune. The story is
remarkable one. The woman had
recently figured prominently in this
vicinity by reason Of the numerous ad-
vertisements inserted in New York
papers calling for information in re-.
gard to her. About thirty FIVE years
ago she was married to A. w. Barker,
with whom she lived for several years,
and OF the children born to them,
Charley, who resides in Kansas City,
and William, a resident OF Brooklyn,
MY, are now living. She disappeared
from her home over twenty years ago,
and since that time had been almost
forgotten until several months ago,
when notices appeared in different
papers in regard to her, asking
for any information that could
be given, and stating that the
death OF an uncle In New York left an
estate OF about $l,300,000 to be d.
vided among nine heirs, Of whom she
was one, and that II proof OF her death
was furnished the two boys would be-
come her heirs, and il II was not done
her share would have to be held in
trust. Notices were sent in every d.
rection; private detectives were put
on the scanty trail that could be
furnished, but no tidings or news of
the missing woman could be found.
Various reports were sent out that she
had been found, but investigation
proved them to be all wrong; yet the
sons, In no way disheartened, kept up
the search for the mother, whom they
were determined TO find II living, and
II not, learn to certainty when and
how she died. About six weeks ago
detective in the employ Of the sons
learned that woman answering the
description OF the one they
were In search OF was living in
Jersey City In destituts condition
and in poor health. Investigation
proved her 10 be the right one,
and the two boys were soon with her. |
Everything possible was done for her |
comfort and to rally her broken down
health. Her claim to her share in the |
estate was easily proved, and one OF |
the first acts was TO bestow on esch OF |
the two boys $1,000 and handsome |

A POLICY or REPRISlLS
RECOMMENDED BY THE SPANISH
MINISTER
At Washington, In Default Of the Re.
clprOcity Treaty With Our
Government.

Nsw YORK, February 4.-The Herald
says: There is an enterprisiDg news
paper in Havana called La Lueha
which has taken go great an interest
in the possibility OF getting a salts
factory treaty out OF the United States
as to have three columns of interviews
cabled from Washington to Havana
for its issue OF January 28th. The gen.
tlemen interviewed were John W. Eos.
ter, late United States Minister to
Spain, and Senior Mauragua, the pres
ent Spanish Minister to this country.
Mr.. Fosters interview about the treaty
negotiated by him, but not confirmed
by the Senate, presents no view not
already we'll known and made public
in the press, but Senior Mauragua's
opinions are decidedly interesting.
La LuchdS correspondent in Washing
ton questioned The Spanish Minister
about the treaty as follows:
SIS there in the convention signed
by you and Mr.. Bayard a clause by
which it is limitsd in its duration ?"
There Is none written" he replied,
"but one exists privately"
"And are you actually occupied in
any negotiations for carrying out
reciprocity treaty ?"
"No," he replied, II am not en-
gagged in the negotiations for the
definite treaty which occupy the at
tention in Madrid of Senior Moret,
Minister OF State, and Mr.. Currie,
United States Minister to SPAIN"
"Do you think" l then asked,
"tbat favorable result will be reached
In this matter2"
